Default deleting operating system

hmm.. it's not as simple as removing the operating system
you'll have to edit your boot.ini file to remove the old
entry from your boot menu.. also.. your old settings will
be in your old folders.. and if you can't log in to your
old OS you may have to transfer them manually.

right click on My Computer select properties
click on Advanced tab
open Startup and Recovery settings and edit startup
options file manually. then delete the line which refers
to your old XP.. you should know this by the folder name
that you installed it to
-----Original Message-----
I recently had problems logging into windows on my pc

and
had to reinstall XP. When I reinstalled, I put XP in a
new directory so I wouldn't lose my old data. Now when

I
boot up, my computer asks me which operating system I
want to use, showing my old XP and new XP as the
choices. How can I remove my old XP so the computer
defaults into my new XP on boot up?

Thanks,

Kevin Dubner
